super nice D90 I am the second owner. Let me explain because this has come up in the past. Original guy bought this truck and left it in a shed on his ranch. A dealer out of San Antonio purchased it from him and it sat on his lot. My company bought this and I purchased it from my company but my truck whole time. I have kept it in a garage the whole time I have owned it. I replaced a lot of the seals from it sitting in a shed a long time. I bought it with 46,791 miles on it. At 55,000 (actually 54,800) miles the speedo went out(it was going on and off) I have put around 16,700 (plus I still drive it when it is nice) miles on it since the new speedo. Some bone head at the dealer did not see the decimal point where it reads tenth of miles (see picture of speedo) so on car fax it shows up with 151000 miles but look at the state inspections and you will figure it out. They actually did it twice in a row cause I brought it back and complained. So that is that.


 The truck is in super great condition and if you come look at it you will be impressed, No rust. I dropped a 3,000.00 stereo system in it. My x keyed it but I had it touched up and then lightly sanded and clear coated. Original paint. It has never been wrecked and is sooooo great. It is the nicest D90 I have ever seen. I flew all over the states looking at different ones before I bought this one so I know it is the nicest one you will ever see. Everything is working perfect on this thing (besides dash clock-sometimes it works sometimes not but that is normal for these trucks). It is a super great truck. I am kinda on the fence about selling it just cause I love this truck. I have already turned down 38,000.00 for it 4 times. Some guy was going to buy it for 42,000.00 but after the fact he could not come up with the cash. I had the original wiring put in for the Hunting lamps and fog lamps, with the original switches. So, take this truck home it will be the best thing you ever did. It is a real head turner and it is all around such a great truck. Everyone that knows anything about these trucks when they have looked at this one they say it is the nicest they have seen....

 So, all of this is straight up. I am a honest person no time for bull sh*t. So you want it come take it Home....

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
